The WCDO Sports Blog will be on hiatus for Football season. You can follow the game updates by “liking” us on our Facebook page, as that will be where all of our updates will be posted during Football season. We may reconsider come basketball season. We are doing this in the interest of making Joe Gardner’s life easier in the studio, as each post must be posted to each service individually. Now that Facebook has been ported to the main page, it negates the need for the blog to generate the feed that appeared at WCDORadio.com. Here is the link to our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/WCDO1 Thank you!
